Tom is not the best because he doesn't live there?

Tom lives on the Canadian boarder side.

They are both located in Fargo. Tom may be the better writer in the country, due to his rural upbringing, but Jane has the advantage in the city!

I know that's not what you're looking for, but that's all I got. ^_^

Barack is the "best" democrat candidate in the country. Hillary is the second "best" democrat candidate in the country. Barack and Hillary are the only 2 democrat candidates in Pennsylvania. Barack is not the "best" democrat candidate in Pennsylvania.

In all the country Tom is best but in broken down to just North Dakota, Jane is best. Maybe she was born there and has many loyal fans there.

This was my first guess, so let me try:

The contest was national, not voted by states, but by a committee. So ND never had a way of measuring best writer in a National light and never had a state-level competition.

Because there are two best writers(the best and the second best),not only one.That's why Tom is not best writer.The correct is to say,that in North Dakota are the two best writers in the country-Ton and jane.

No one has got it yet.

Think of your elementary school english class. Tom is better then Jane.

Tom is the better writer in ND (not "best"), since there aren't 3 writers?

I think Enlightened is correct. If there are only two writers, than no on is the "best", you can only have one who is "better" than the other. However, there are more than two writers in the country, so he can be the "best". This is just thinking back to my English classes, and what Enlightened had to say.
